Up front: Shove your accusations of “panic mongering.” Someone has to ask these damn questions.
UK Ebola case feared after British man dies in Macedonia
A British man suspected of having contracted Ebola has died in Macedonia.
The UK Foreign Office said it was urgently investigating the reports.
A British citizen travelling with the unnamed man said they had not been to any areas affected by the deadly virus, a Macedonian government spokesman said.
And:
Later the government spokesman said the man’s travelling companion told the authorities they had travelled directly from the UK to Skopje.
Did he get it from the plane? If someone with Ebola gets bodily fluids onto a plane, is that plane then “hot” and able to transfer the virus to other passengers who happen to touch an infected surface?
And really, you better hope it was the plane that was “hot.” Because if it wasn’t, then there’s someone out there with communicable Ebola no one knows about.
Update: It wasn’t Ebola at all: British ‘Ebola victim’ in Macedonia did NOT have the disease and died after massive drinking binge, health officials say
